アドラル ブティック ホテル

This hotel has a great location on the pedestrian promenade of Rabac, with numbered parking spaces allocated to guests on the road behind which is great (you're given a key for a padlocked space on arrival, if you advise them in advance that you will have a car). Breakfast (included in our rate) was a good buffet selection with particularly nice fresh sliced fruit and fresh bread to slice yourself. Breakfast staff were very helpful and provided hot drinks and were generally very on the ball. Our double bed was comfortable. Rooms feel rather corporate and impersonal but are fine. Standard rooms are below the level of the walkway so you only have a sea view when standing up but it was nice to have chairs out on our own section of terrace even if not private, given people can look down on you from outside! If you want more privacy, ie a room with a balcony on a higher floor, then you need to choose a more expensive room category. The terrace gets the sun most of the day so is very hot, with the glass screen by the walkway keeping any breeze away. There were no proper chairs inside our standard room, just one stool by the desk/mirror table. There is however a wardrobe complete with minibar fridge and kettle and supplies for hot drinks, plus a safe. A complimentary bottle of water was provided in the room on our 1st day but not replaced on our second day. It was a shower over the bath. Personally we prefer walk in showers, but it was a decent pressure and hot. Plenty of dining options very close by, plus a bakery next door. Just to note that reception was a bit odd - it was not obvious from outside as we approached. It turns out that the reception office is really just a cubicle inside a door marked with room numbers. Once inside, then there's a round table marked Reception immediately outside of the cubicle, but it would be good to have a Reception sign on the outside wall to help new arrivals know they've come to the right door! But once we were in, both receptionists we met were helpful. Beach towels are available on request from reception and we spent a day on the main Rabac beach which is 5 mins walk around the promenade. It's a pebble beach but we were pleasantly surprised to find that just a few metres out there was a lovely sandy bottom. 2 sun loungers and a sunshade were 25 euros to rent for the day. There's a decent pizzeria behind, belonging to one of the big hotels, where we enjoyed a pizza and Greek salad lunch. If you prefer small hotels then the Adoral is for you - there are some huge hotel complexes locally which seemed popular with families but they aren't our thing, so we were pleased with our choice! Rabac is a busy small resort but is surprisingly scenic, set at the end of a valley below Labin, and there's a nice harbour area just around the corner from the hotel with some bars and more restaurants. We used the local tourist "train" to scope out the local area on arrival - it costs 3 euros for an adult single ticket and r
